A tube that fits the rotor hole may still need an adapter. Check your rotor and the adapter its maker lists for that tube size before you run it.

Confirm fit in your model's manual before use. A rotor that doesn't fit can fail at speed.

Common questions

Usually with an adapter. Most mini centrifuge rotors are sized for 1.5 and 2 mL tubes, and smaller tubes sit in adapters or a separate PCR strip rotor.

Typically 2,000 to about 2,700 x g at 6,000 to 7,000 rpm, depending on the model and rotor.
